ANNOUNCEMENTS

NOVEMBER SERIES. THE LAST ONES. Have you ever lost your faith in humanity? Have you been filled with disappointment after hearing the news of yet another act of hate or injustice and wondered if there is anybody who does right anymore? Revelation speaks of The Last Ones who still have their faith in Jesus and hold to the Law of Love, and the resounding question from the pages of Scripture for us today, as all others fall away is, what are you clinging to?

SERIES RECOMMENDED RESOURCES.

NEW // Membership Transfer In, 2nd Reading. Leanne Smith from San Antonio Scenic Hills Adventist Church.

NEW // 2021 Ministry Review Committee. If you are a member of Hollywood Adventist Church, your input is needed. Kirsten, Church Clerk, sent a Survey Monkey out to all membership email addresses that she has and asks that you complete the survey, selecting individuals that you would like to see serve our congregation by affirming ministries and changing or adding leaders where needed! This process occurs every two years and is known as a Nominating Committee in other congregations. Please complete the survey by Sunday, November 28. If you have not received the survey, check your spam folder, and if you still can’t find it, call the church office and ask for Kirsten’s contact information.

SABBATH SCHOOL. Our Adult Sabbath School classes have resumed their 10 am start time on Sabbath morning.  They are a hybrid in person and Zoom class for those worshipping remotely.  If you would like to join a Sabbath morning class, please email info@hollywoodsda.org and you will be directed to the teachers.

THE WELL (Women’s Ministry). Join our new series “REBUILD” where we will take a closer look at the Book of Nehemiah. Friday nights, 7:00pm (PST) via Zoom. For more info, please contact Merlinda at TheWell@hollywoodsda.org.

ZOOM CONNECT.

FAMILY MINISTRY. Sabbath School for children, youth and their families continue to be on hold for the time being. In the lobby are Worship Activity Kits for kids to use during the 11 am worship program. Instructions for use are on the cart and the boxes are updated weekly with new materials. To stay up to date on future developments regarding Sabbath School and more, connect with us on Discord!

CAN’T HEAR EASILY? Do you need access to amplified audio to hear the in-person worship program better? Ask a Connect Team member at the lobby doors and they will loan you one of the three audio assist devices we have available. You can use your own 3.5mm plug earbuds or borrow a headset.

GIVE ONLINE. Your support makes an eternal difference. You can give your tithes and offering online through AdventistGiving. Checks can be mailed directly to us at 1711 N. Van Ness Ave., Hollywood, CA 90028; please specify “Tithe” or “Local Church Offering” in the memo line. AdventistGiving.Org

DONATIONS NEEDED FOR COMPASSION CONNECTION. Do you have clothes you don’t need anymore? We maintain a donation-based clothing closet to provide freshly washed clothes to our shower guests needing a clean change. We are in constant need of new and gently used t-shirts, pants, socks, and new underwear for all genders. For donations during COVID-19 social distancing and closure mandate, please contact the church office by phone: (323) 462-0010 or email: info@hollywoodsda.org. Thank you for supporting our church’s ministry! 

PHONES OUT ON SABBATH. Join the church discord server to keep in touch with other members of the community. Sabbath mornings you can connect with people worshipping remotely. Staying connected to each other can be difficult even as we transition back to being more in person. discord.hollywoodadventist.org.
